Saucy Sandwiches

I am not a sandwich person. This is one of a few sandwich recipes I've posted. I was skeptical of this recipe with the weird montage of ingredients but decided to try and the outcome was SO GOOD! So good. Even my kids love them. I make them every time hubby brings sliced black forest ham home from Costco. We finish almost a whole pan between the 6 of us and I always look forward to leftovers. They're perfect for a meal or as sliders at a party. Serves 8-12.

Saucy Sandwiches

24 brown and serve rolls*
24 slices Black Forest Ham
24 slices Swiss Cheese, or cheese of your choice
1 cube butter, melted
1/4 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp prepared mustard**
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp poppy seeds, optional


1. Place a slice of ham and cheese in each roll. Arrange rolls on jelly roll pan, squeezing together to fit.
2. Mix butter, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, if using, and onion powder with wire whisk. Brush tops of ham and cheese rolls liberally with sauce, the pour remaining sauce all over. Cover pan with foil and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls, covered, for 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 10 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Serve warm.

* You could use any small, soft roll such as Hawaiian, but I like the brown and serve.
** Dijon or other of your choice, I use Mustard Girl brand deli mustard with mustard seeds in it, and omit the sesame seeds.
